Restarting

Post by Joes2Silly » Sun Nov 29, 2009 7:55 pm

My computer has been doing this after I upgraded my graphics card a while ago, I just never looked into it until now. My computer boots up fine and everything, but for some reason when I restart my computer (from windows) my computer screen goes blank and I have to hard-restart it. Recently I uninstalled my drivers for the card (880 GTX), and booted my computer up, I can't quite remember but I believe this solved the restarting issue. So I threw my old 6600 GT into my system and installed the drivers, It now does it again. Could this issue be due to drivers, or something else?

What's your PSU rated for? (Watts, amps on the 12v rail(s))

It's a 500w PSU I believe, but I've calculated it out and I don't think my system even needs that much.

Specs (as of now):
Pentium D 3.0 Ghz
Intel Mobo
2x 2GB OCZ DDR2 RAM
2x HD (1 IDE, 1 SATA)
1x DVD Drive
Geforce 6600 Gt
